Hamzat Unveils 100-Point Lagos Manifesto, Promises Single-Digit Mortgages and Inner Road Construction
Lagos State Deputy Governor and All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for the 2027 election, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, has unveiled a 100-point manifesto outlining plans to improve infrastructure, housing, transportation, healthcare and economic opportunities across the state.
Hamzat presented the manifesto, titled The Lagos Promise, at an event in Lagos on Friday, October 30, 2026. He said the proposed agenda was designed to make governance more accountable while addressing the everyday needs of residents.
The manifesto is organised around seven pillars: People First, Renewal, Opportunity, Machinery of Government, Inclusion, Security and Resilience, and Everyday Dignity.
According to Hamzat, the document contains 100 pledges, including commitments covering areas within the state government’s authority and proposals requiring cooperation with the Federal Government and other institutions.
Hamzat Promises Affordable Mortgages and More Housing
Housing is one of the key areas highlighted in the manifesto, with Hamzat promising to expand access to homeownership through mortgage arrangements requiring a 10 per cent initial deposit, single-digit interest rates and longer repayment periods.
He said the proposed arrangements would be supported through partnerships with private developers and an expansion of existing housing programmes, including Lagos HOMS.
Hamzat also pledged to complete several ongoing housing developments across the state, including Egan-Igando Clusters Two and Three, Lagos HOMS Sangotedo Phase Two, Lagos HOMS Ibeshe Phases Two and Three, and the Workers’ Village in Ipaja.
Other projects identified include the Epe housing scheme at Ita-Marun, Beacon Apartments on Command Road, Vangully Housing Estate in Ajah, Lagos HOMS Ajara Phase Two in Badagry and the Okota housing estate.
The candidate said his proposed administration would prioritise completing existing developments while working towards delivering additional affordable homes.
Inner Roads and Major Transport Projects
On infrastructure, Hamzat promised to prioritise the construction and rehabilitation of inner roads across Lagos communities in collaboration with local governments, local council development areas and the Lagos State Public Works Corporation.
Some of the roads identified for rehabilitation include Tedi-Mowo Road, Olojo Drive-Alaba International Market-Igbede Road, Bola Ahmed Tinubu Road in Bogije, Igbe-Ginti Road, Ijede Road Phase Two, Mowo-Ikoga Road, Mushin-Itire Road and Isheri-Osun Road.
He also pledged to accelerate major infrastructure projects, including the Fourth Mainland Bridge, the Regional Road along the Lekki-Epe corridor and the second phase of the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge.
For public transportation, Hamzat proposed increasing the state’s bus fleet from 1,000 to 4,000 vehicles, with a target of transporting one million passengers daily.
He also promised to extend the Blue Line rail service to Okokomaiko, establish an interchange between the Blue and Red Lines at the National Theatre Station and work with the Federal Government to advance the proposed Green Line from Marina to the Lekki Free Trade Zone.
On water transportation, he outlined plans to dredge an additional 140 kilometres of waterways, improve 15 ferry routes, rehabilitate 25 terminals and jetties, and acquire 75 additional electric vessels under the Omi Eko initiative.
Security and Water Supply
Hamzat also outlined plans to strengthen neighbourhood security through an expanded Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency, with operational coverage extended to wards across the state’s 20 local government areas and 37 local council development areas.
He promised wider CCTV coverage, improved street lighting and the establishment of a State Intelligence Fusion Centre to strengthen responses to cybercrime, financial crimes and organised criminal activities.
On water supply, he pledged to complete the Adiyan Phase Two waterworks project, which is expected to produce 70 million gallons of water daily and serve an additional six million residents.
He also promised to rehabilitate 24 micro and mini waterworks and repair damaged distribution networks to improve access to potable water.
Waste Management and Environmental Development
The manifesto also addresses waste management, with Hamzat targeting 95 per cent waste collection coverage across Lagos through improved private-sector participation and community collection systems.
He pledged to complete transfer loading stations at Olusosun and Solous III in Alimosho, establish a waste recovery facility and complete the waste-to-energy project at Agbowa.
He also proposed integrating approximately 30,000 waste collectors and sorters into a more organised system, with access to training, equipment and improved remuneration.
On environmental protection, Hamzat promised to expand tree planting and develop public parks as part of efforts to improve urban conditions and strengthen the state’s resilience to climate-related challenges.
Hamzat Promises Accountability in Governance
Beyond infrastructure and social development, the APC candidate pledged to establish an independent performance council to monitor his administration’s progress and assess the implementation of its commitments.
He said the proposed body would publish annual reports comparing government promises with actual results, allowing residents to track progress and identify areas where targets had not been achieved.
Hamzat said his approach to governance would be guided by respect, work and truth, adding that public officials should be held accountable for their commitments.
The manifesto also covers healthcare, education, youth empowerment, job creation, small business support and public sector reforms.
Hamzat said his overall objective was to build a safer, more prosperous and inclusive Lagos, with residents playing a central role in assessing government performance.
